Its foundation is built from over 200 years’ experience in fish manufacturing and this has allowed our organisation to provide sustainable employment for development and growth in Grimsby.

“I was recruited from the shop floor more than 30 years ago, and as my career flourished, so did the success of the business. We can all enjoy the development, investment and opportunities to grow here at Young’s. .

“We have so many development and promotional opportunities and are keen to promote from within, wherever possible.
